WhistlePig PiggyBack 6 Year Old Rye

Designed by the legendary late Master Distiller Dave Pickerell specifically for bartenders, PiggyBack is the ultimate cocktail rye! Crafted with a massive 100% rye mash bill and aged for six years, it is intentionally bottled at an exact 96.56 proof (48.28% ABV)—a specific strength chosen because it provides enough robust alcohol content to stand up brilliantly in any cocktail, without overpowering the intricate, spicy flavors of the whiskey itself.

NOSE

Intensely spicy and bright with aromas of fresh black pepper, cinnamon, dark chocolate, and sharp citrus peel.

PALATE

Bold, highly robust, and spice-forward. A massive wave of peppery rye grain and clove is beautifully tempered by rich caramel, toasted oak, and vanilla cream.

FINISH

Long, crisp, and exceptionally spicy, leaving a satisfying dry heat perfect for mixing.
